--- Comment #8 from Thomas Lendo <thomas.lendo@gmail.com> ---
Nothing changed in LibO behavior since 2017. Tested with 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ from 
2018-09-12.

I'm adding the keyword 'needsUXEval' despite most of the UX members are already
in the CC list. It seems the discussion hasn't finished.

My opinion:
As a technician I understand the bug reporter's wish for steps in 5 and 10 and
for example to see 10 in favor of 12. Owen also said that in comment 2. But it
should be handled practical and the ruler should show the maximum numbers that
helps the user and also looks good and clear. Maybe the actual system comes
from the imperial/US measurement system where this is handled in another way
than in the metric world.

120 % shows 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. (mm) at an A4 page.
80 % shows 7, 14, 21, 28 (weird mm numbers in my view)

Can the algorithm be adapted to show 10, 20, 30 in for example the 80 % view?
